Where this page's figures come from
Generated 2026-08-28 22:01 by Hydrohistorian. Sources: DWR HydroBase snapshot HydroBase_CO_20260707 (history) + CDSS REST (current), USGS NWIS cross-checks. Engine v0.5.0 (d1c3b7f) — every figure regenerates from this named code version and data image.
In short
SHAW CREEK SUBDIVISION AUG PLAN holds 1 decreed right. We cannot judge whether its rights are in priority: this structure is not on the modelled flow network, so no reference gage can honestly stand in for it.
Assembled from the figures on this page — every number above is checked against them before it is shown (1 checked). The detail, with its method, is in the cards below.

Which of its rights are out of priority?
Not computable for this structure: this structure is not on the modelled flow network, so no reference gage can honestly stand in for it.
Where it sits in line
Priority 1878-04-30 — 153rd most senior of the 8016 structures with decreed rights in this water districtDWR's administrative subdivision of a river basin; the unit calls are usually stated in..
Under prior appropriationColorado's rule for sharing water: first in time, first in right. Age decides, not proximity or need., everything ahead of it in this line is satisfied in full before it receives any water. Immediately ahead: SHAW D 1 (1878-04-30). Immediately behind: LARICK D 9 (1878-05-02).
Decreed rights (1)
| Admin noDWR's numeric encoding of a water right's seniority. Smaller is more senior; the integer part counts days from 1849-12-31 to the date that ranks the right. | AppropriatedWhen water was first put to beneficial use. It sets seniority unless a prior adjudication date is later. | AdjudicatedWhen the water court confirmed the right. A use decreed in 1975 was not a decreed use in 1955, however old the appropriation is. | AbsoluteA right actually put to use, as opposed to conditional -- a placeholder for a use not yet made. | ConditionalA right reserving a place in line for a use not yet made; it must be diligently pursued or it lapses. | Decreed forWhat the court said this water may be used for -- irrigation, municipal supply, augmentation and so on. | Case |

Recorded use (last 10 years on record)
Years far under the decreed amount? That gap has a name — paper water vs. wet water, explained on this structure.
This structure records both diversions and reservoir releases — they are separate water movements and are accounted separately below.

How good is our record of it?
Grade B (7/10 points) — the components below are the finding; the letter alone is not.
